Overview of Norwich in Bloom
Thoughts for this Year.
We thought this year was going to be a tough year when we were not given our grant from Norwich City Council that we depended on badly to survive. We have had to learn to work differently and decided to cut down some of the categories from our competition to do this. We have gotten each section of the competition sponsored and this has made us more sustainable. Step two is to get all of the beds at the Train Station sponsored too. We are very pleased that we have come so far and look forward to hearing from other people out there to come and join us to help more people around Norwich.
